Preserving 35 years of knowledge, tools, and insights from one of fair trade's pioneering organisations — guides, research, and resources developed to support smallholder farmers and inclusive value chain development.
Twin and Twin Trading (1985-2019) was a non profit organisation and trading company whose mission was to harness and shape the market to deliver social, environmental and economic development for smallholder farming communities globally.
Twin had a proven model and track record for improving the sustainability of coffee, cocoa and nuts supply chains, by working closely with producer organisations to apply a holistic, gender-responsive approach that secured buy-in from all farmers and improved quality and volumes.
Twin created programmes in partnership with farmer organisations that met the needs of their businesses and the strategic priorities of industry, based around its six pillar approach: business management, gender justice, governance, market access, quality & processing and sustainable agriculture. In the side bar are links to materials under each of these pillar headings.
